This is going to be one of the most wonderful moments of my life. I’m the grandson of a man that flew in these skies in World War II. The greatest generation is something that should be appreciated, celebrated, and remembered. The two times that we die are once when we stop breathing and the second time when someone stop saying our names. I never wanna stop celebrating the courage of these men.

men today have no bloody concept of what hard times were and what sacrifices were given ......for us to be here today NEVER FORGET

I fly for United Airlines and on June 3rd we’re doing a memorial flight from Chicago to Paris with D-Day Veterans that we’ll carry on to Normandy for the 80th anniversary. United is covering all expenses for them and their families, and the flight will be staffed entirely by veterans - from the pilots, flight attendants, gate agents, and ground crew. I’m honored to be working that flight, what a privilege. We’ll certainly make it a special day for these living legends. Semper Fi - 1st Bn 4th Marines 🤟🏼

Watching "Masters of the Air" has given me an entirely new perspective on my grandfather, a gunner on the "Bonnie B".

A good old series on the history channel called “suicide missions” or “dangerous missions” they have a few episodes about WW2 bombers over Europe. Really interesting stuff.

I was fortunate to do the full Normandy tour this past 4th of July. Learning that all of the headstones face west so the fallen can all face home, and hearing taps being played was immeasurably emotional.

My grandfather joined up in 1920 (lied to get in,was only 14) , 6 months before Pearl Harbor his calvary unit turned in their horses for trucks and halftracks. He transferred to field artillery and participated in North Africa, Italy and went ashore at Omaha beach. I remember him telling stories about the war, he never talked about combat. But about his fellow soldiers and liberating civilians during the campaigns. Thank you BRCC for doing this, keeping the greatest generation alive through this( my grandfather passed in 83), and all you do for our fellow veterans.

My grandfather lied about his age in order to join. They found out he was 16 days before they were to head Europe. Every man in his unit died on Utah Beach. Two and half years later he married my grandmother. They had 17 children, 67 grandchildren, 107 great-grandchildren and 14 great-great-grandchildren. Please say a prayer for me while you are over there? Thank you and God bless you all for never forgetting.

My neighbor and my great grandfather were both in the war. My neighbor was stationed at Pearl Harbor in the navy when it was attacked and later went on to fight in the pacific theater. My great grandpa was in the british indian army and fought in Burma alongside the Gurkha’s.

My grandpa was there, 1/504 PIR 82 ABN he wasn’t supposed to jump on D-Day but he was a pathfinder and they needed all of the pathfinders. When the war was finally won he was sent to Berlin to occupy the town. We lost him a few years ago.

Great uncle Jumped on D-Day with HQ 3/507th PIR. Landed near Graingnes with the other misdrops. Made it out.... not so lucky during Op. Varsity Jump on 24 March 1945. KIA near Wessel, Germany. Thanks much for keeping this all alive for the subsequent generations.

THANK YOU GENTS ..... I am 60 now ( served w/ the CND armed forces years ago ) But I remember the stories my 3 uncles told me ... when they were in Monte casino Italy ... thank you again for doing this

My great grandpa landed on the beaches at Normandy on D-Day. Till the day he died he could still tell you the names of all the guys he served with. He could tell you their names, about their families, where they were from, what they were like, everything. He told me that he made it off the beach that day and so many of his guys, his brothers, didn’t. And that’s why he had to remember everything about them. Because if he (and if America at large) forgot them, then they would truly die. I’ve got his journals with all that in them. So now keeping his boys alive is my job.

Former Airborne 13F here, This would be absolutely awesome! Awesome way to pay homage. So thankful for those brave warriors to allow me to live the life I do today.

It will always be hard to grasp the sheer level of balls on these men that jumped from these planes and landed on these shores, I can only offer the greatest amount of respect to this generation that went and gave their lives for what they believed in.

I served for five years in Air Defense Artillery. I’ve got a total of zero hours of experience jumping out of airplanes and I want to experience this. Both of my grandfathers served. Major Carl Barr was a navigator in the 455th bomber group and Captain Dale Roby served in the Pacific as an Island Hopper. I hope to stand where they stood.

God Bless you gentlemen for the respect you graciously exemplify to these WWII veterans (men & women) of the greatest generation. My father served with 82nd AB as a child his story’s about this moment in history were painful limited. Along with 6 of his 7 brothers all served in WWII & Korea. One gold ⭐️ and 5 blue. Thank you BR for your respect and service to America 🇺🇸

When I first enlisted in the Army, I ask my wife's great grandfather for military advice since he was a WWII veteran. I was the only person he ever opened up about his war stories and his military experiences. It was such a great honor. I remember his sons,grandsons and great grandsons were mad because he never talk to them about it.

I miss my grandfather. He was a great man and a great pilot. From WWII through the end of Vietnam. What an interesting experience you guys had being able to meet some of the guys that were there. Well done.

Grandpa was a 101st - 517th Airborne. And Fought in France Love seeing you guys Do this 🤙🏻🇺🇸

The crew at Palatka are awesome people. They celebrate those brave men every year. I work for Putnam County Fire/Rescue and have been there for calls during their annual get togethers, and they treat us like royalty. They deserve so much recognition for their dedication to keeping the memory alive.

Had goosebumps through the entire video. Y'all are awesome! God Bless America!

Greatest they were indeed My granddad and my uncle were part of it. Granddad being part of 7th armoured which also went against Gen Rommel's army in Africa and my uncle a Spitfire pilot during the war Wish i had a chance to meet them as they passed away before me but their memories lived on through their diaries, their kids and all the documentaries and work from the ppl who worked hard to keep their memories and sacrifices alive.

Goosebumps! To be able to honor the men of the Greatest Generation is definitely something special. I can’t imagine being one of those guys on D-Day! Heavy Ass Brass Balls for sure

My Grand Uncle was there💪God bless you all🙏

Gave me chills. Well done gents! Grandson of 30yr marine in Pearl Harbor on the USS Tennessee on a quad gun crew shooting at planes and taking Iwo Jima getting bayoneted in the back and bronze star. Died at 96, loved swapping stories with him. He is the big reason I served. Thanks for keeping the memories alive.

Awesome to see guys! I was at the 75th D-Day anniversary and it was great to see a group jump then. "Rendezvous with Destiny."

They are the greatest generation 🇺🇸. This and the rest of our history should be taught and ingrained in our classroom, from elementary through college. They are who and why our country is the best on this Earth.

You guys are amazing! The things you guys do, stand for and support is just amazing.

Thank you all for your service my brothers

Y’all made me tear up watching this… I’m so proud to be an American 🇺🇸 🫡

That was wonderful. Thankyou Black Rifle for doing this.

once in a lifetime event .... the stories and drinks to follow Cheers lads

I’ve being lucky enough and privileged enough, to have jump into Normandy, as part of the British remembrance to D-Day. It makes you think, how may of them never made it home.

you guys are one of the best generations too! Much Love and Respect🙏

Our dad served. God bless your hearts/minds/dedication/service/honor. You all steadfast awesome! Thank you much.

That’s awesome guys!!! Thank you for honoring our Greatest Generation, our brave men and women who truly saved our world!!! As a baby boomer, thank you for honoring them!!!

Awesome and thankful for these men, keeping the fire hot and bright that our grandfathers and great grandfathers fought for.

Bringing our 4 boys under 10 years old to Normandy a year ago was truly humbling to what these great men had to face and the commitment made to securing freedom for the world. God bless the fallen and those who and are serving.

I think this is absolutely awesome way to honor those who went before. Thank all of you for your service to this nation and continuing to serve in new ways.

Thank you for service to our great country. Thank you for remembering and honoring The Greatest Generation. And thanks for making great coffee!

My father was the in Europe- 95th Infantry Division. Thank you gentlemen.

My father-in-law, RIP, was 82nd Airborne. Jumped in Italy and Europe. Shrapnel hole in his left forearm, about 1/2 way up, 1/2 way thru from, entered from directly above. Tough oil rig worker for Schlumberger - His entire career, start to finish. Retired while stationed in Houston. Met his daughter at a church camp outside of Searcy, AR USA. Camp Wyldewood So I was especially kind to my mother-in-law. Yes ma'am. Yes ma'am. And the soldiers daughter... 🤣. Yes sir. 45th anniversary this year, June 15th, and she's still my beautiful bride. I'm going to get her a bigger mower. 🚜 Nothing runs like a Deere 🚜

Brcc NEEDS to do historical documentaries. Omg I would love it and so would so many of us

You guys are awesome. Keep up the great work!

What an honor!! Thank you for sharing this journey.

Awesome video guys I love the CAF life episodes can we get more of these episodes can we also some more hunting caf life episodes

I've been there on the 70th aniversary. I've been on the Utah beaches. I cried.

Damn I just got goosebumps watching that first stick

Those are my favorite moments. Being able to stand where men before me changed history. Haven't had the opportunity to visit Normandy yet but have got to go to pearl harbor and that was a sobering experience. To live my best life for those who gave theirs so I could live free. Not just for myself but for my brothers and sisters that gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Very powerful indeed! Thank you for doing this and sharing. Thank you for honoring in this way and we will be praying for you in a few weeks as you get to honor those who jumped up that morning and said hell yeah, lets get some!

Freedom is not free! Thank you to all our past and present service members! There is no amount of gratitude that will ever be enough! 🦅

God Bless America 🇺🇸 🙏 grateful for the blessing of serving the greatest country in the history of the world. 101st 3BCT 1-187 Rakkasans! OEF 12-13. Now its our turn to rebuild this country like the WW2 vets did before us! Well done BRCC

I hope you all have a good Memorial Day and thank you all for your service we wouldn’t be here without your sacrifice!🇺🇸

These dudes are doing it right

It's a great thing knowing that others appreciate these amazing men who gave EVERYTHING to protect what/who they love. That was certainly the last generation of REAL men. I wish more people understood how different things could have been had these men not been so courageous..so driven. It's something that I think about all of the time. Whenever I met a World War II veteran, I could thank them and shake their hand..time and time again but that was never enough..

Stuff like this is the reason why I will always support BRCC. I was blessed to have served in the 101st. 1-502 IN. FIRST STRIKE! It was an honor to be the vocational descendent of such great warriors. Thank you for saving the world.

80 years since it’s been a while

All I can say is thank you to all of you. I’m sorry you’re not praised more. My family owe our lives to all of you. Thank you 🙏🏻

Nice jumps, best regards from Germany🍻

This is amazing, may God bless you all.

I've been hearing about you men trying to do this for a while. What special group of veterans. I'm thankful for all that you do. Can't wait for the content to come from this journey. Keep doing epic shit!!! Let's go BRCC!!!!

I can't wait to see this!!! Thanks for honoring our WW2 Veterans.

This is something really cool on their part, showing others to have an idea of the phases of sacrifice that involve all of those heroes during that time 💪👏

You dudes are doing it right. Keep up the good work.

Every generation in my family served. My grandfather in the Army Air Corps. Sacrificial B-17 waist gunner knew he wasn’t flying back. They fielded all the flac to make target ammo site in France. Luckily he was booted out of the plane into Bay of Biscay. POW until the end of the war. His son was Vietnam, I was Shield/Storm.

Love all your company does, hate always reading CAF and instantly getting hyped thinking its related to "Canadian Armed Forces" x'D

My old man signed up the day they announced the War Began. He had to lie about his age, but they didn't care. He wound up in the 82nd Airborne and spent a full 20. He had a scar across his belly that he called the zipper. Every time he would get blown up, shot, what have you, they would use the same line go in pull out whatever Hardware there was. Then stitching him back up and send him on his way. He didn't have me until he retired and went into civil service at Fort Ord. I remember him complaining about aches in his legs and every once in awhile a tiny piece of shrapnel would come to the surface. Part of his job was to take photographs. They had to use slide film because the detail was finer. I'll never forget those boxes, there was one in particular that was taken in Germany. It was the middle of winter. It was a silhouette of a tree with three Nazi officers swinging.

This is awesome I'm a big band of brothers fan. 🇺🇲💪

Love these guys love their coffee

salute from your neighbours in the north

Thank you.

Very cool! Those guys had huge brass balls to jump into Normandy.

Much love brothers!

Gives me chills seeing this and thinking about that generation. I served 2007-2016 idk just a different time I guess. Lying about age all the way to some un aliving them selfs for not being able to enlist and fight...

My great grandfather joined the army paratroopers in 1943 trained out in Georgia and was shipped over to Europe to take part in the largest invasion. He jumped into Normandy, Holland, froze half way to death, and jumped into Germany.

I love this so much! Thank you for doing this, for remembering those brave men. Not until watching Band of Brothers did I begin to understand what happened 6/6/44

Land of the free and the home of the brave, thank you 🇺🇸

both my grandparents served one in the marines and one army one fought on the army boxing team snd was winning the championships sadly i never got the chance to meet either of them but they held me when i was only a couple yr old

Where can we get one of those sweeet ball caps with the invasion stripes? 🤘

My uncle's grandparents did their part during ww2 his grandpa was captain of a mortar platoon under general patton and his grandmother taught the gunners for us air force

I went over to Normandy last year and took a tour of Utah Beach as well as St.Mere Eglise town square were the 82nd held the town until reinforcements came up from Utah Beach

Amazing

love to see the appreciation for the WWII Veterans! you guys should get all kitted up in WWII Jump gear when you guys do jump! that'd be wicked cool!

My grand father crossed Omaha…twice..apparently he left something on the landing craft…he never spoke about the war even after I got back from Iraq…can’t wait to see him in Valhalla and hear those stories.

My Grandfather; 504th, 508th, 509th. My Dad; 327th, SOF Medic. Me; 504th, 2ID LRSD. Three generations of jumpers and a lifetime of memories.

The media team is crushing it

Miss you grandpa Jim.

My great grandfather was a Jewish radio operator in WII for the Army Air Corps. We most certainly cannot forget to honor our history and the service members who were on the right side of things. Well done BRCC.

What an amazing thing to do to honor the Greatest Generation. This kind of stuff is the reason I only buy BRC. Semper Fi from this old tired Marine.

More than just a jump! ALL the way! See you in Normandy!

God Bless!!!!!
